Green Rebuild Toolkit free webinars in June

31 May 2021

A Green Rebuild Toolkit is being launched by not-for-profit organisation Renew to help fire-affected communities to plan and rebuild their homes to suit our changing climate.

A response to the devastating fires of 2019/2020, the toolkit includes step-by-step advice on where to start when planning a resilient rebuild, expert articles and online resources, advice videos, and case studies of resilient homes and rebuilds. From Bushfire Attack Level ratings to fire resistant building materials, the Green Rebuild Toolkit offer important information for those navigating the daunting task of rebuilding.

As publishers of both Renew and Sanctuary magazine, Renew draws on over forty years of experience in this sector as well as an extensive network of technical experts, architects and designers. As the project continues, the set of resources can be customised to local areas, climates and state building regulations.

Free webinars will also be held shortly, featuring experts in the field speaking alongside homeowners who have already rebuilt after fire. The webinars series will be held to coincide with the launch of the Green Build Toolkit. The topics and dates for the webinars are:
